He wai mou!, He wai mau! Hei whakaora i te ngakau o Porou Ngāti Porou establish their rights and interests in the Wai through descent from Ranginui, Papatuanuku and Tawhirimatea and their orccupation of the Eastern seaboard lands between Potikirua and Te Toka a Taiau since Maui fished up his great fish- Te Ika a Maui. The Wai is the life blood of the land with its ritual and sacred elements and its functional, everyday elements. Our relationship and association with the Wai is recorded in our waiata, whakatauaki and the names of our rivers, streams, creeks and puna and in our everyday practice. 1: Waiapu Koka huhua 3 Ngāti Porou Milestone 2 Report January 2015 3 Introduction 3.1 Purpose The purpose of this report is to inform people of the relationship that Ngāti Porou has with the wai in their rohe and reconfirm that the relationship is based on whakapapa, mana whenua and kaitiakitanga. To assert Ngāti Porou rights and interests in the Wai in accordance with Te Mana o te Wai and Toitu Ngāti Porou frameworks. The report also describes the mechanisms considered and the mechanisms agreed to give effect to their rights and interests in the Wai, recognising the environment that they are operating in, central and local government planning policies, processes and systems and their own state of preparedness at both Iwi and hapū governance and management levels. Finally the report lays out a pathway for Ngāti Porou to work with the Gisborne District Council to establish a Section 36B Joint Management Agreement, staircasing within five years to a Delegated Resource Management Authority under Section 33 of the RMA. The pathway also identifies the key capabilities that ngā hapū o Ngāti Porou and Te Runanganui o Ngāti Porou will need to build to fulfill their responsibilities as a JMA under s36B or as a Delegated Authority under s33 of the RMA as well as meet their obligations in fulfilling the principles of Te Mana o Te Wai and Toitu Ngāti Porou. 3.2 Objectives The Objectives of this report are; Articulate the Ngāti Porou world-view of the Wai and the nature of our ongoing, uniterrupted relationship with the Wai. Inform ourselves and others of the status and state of the wai in our rohe. 4 Ngāti Porou Milestone 2 Report January 2015 Identify the appropriate mechanisms to recognise and give effect to the rights and interests of ngā Hapū o Ngāti Porou in the wai. Establish the rationale for proposed mechanisms and approach. Identify what mechanisms can be addressed by the Gisborne District Council (GDC), and how they may be effected. 3.3 Method used to gather information We have conducted and recorded discussions with ngā Hapū o Ngāti Porou on Wai between 25 October, 2014 and 17 January 2015 to: ascertain the nature of their relationship and their association with the Wai and the rights and interests they believe that they have in the Wai in their rohe. determine how they believe thoses rights and interests could be recognised and given effect. identify the appropriate mechanisms for recognising and giving effect to their rights and interests. Hui were organised primarily at the hapū level and facilitated to enable good information exchanges and free and frank discussions. Ngāti Porou agreed that the organisational and management capability, authority and responsibility for the Wai exists at hapū level. They accept that there are complementary roles that will be conducted at the Iwi level, such as; coordinating the conversations with the GDC and the Crown on behalf of ngā hapū o Ngāti Porou and maintaining oversight of the work undertaken as part of the MoU’s and Accords established in the Ngāti Porou Deed of Settlement with the Crown for Historic Treaty Claims and in the Ngā Hapū o Ngāti Porou Takutaimoana (FSSB) Deed of Agreement with the Crown. The Ngāti Porou Freshwater Team, has drawn on data , research , maps and documents sourced from: Previous Ngāti Porou Reports on Wai , Environmental Resource Management, the Ngāti Porou Treaty Settlements and Ngāti Porou Takutaimoana. GDC maps, reports and plans. Research, work and Agreements developed by other Iwi and ILG-Freshwater. Central Government; National Policy Statement, LAWF Report’s. Report’s have been prepared as a collective effort, with members delegated responsibility for sections of report prepared based on their knowledge, skills and expertise. 3.4 The Team Selwyn Parata Hui Convenor , Co-Facilitator and Co-Report Writer Tina Porou Co-Facilitator, Technical Support and Co-Report

  • A Geochemical Perspective
    ABSTRACT THOMPSON, CATHERINE E. Tracking Organic Matter from Source to Sink in the Waiapu River Watershed, New Zealand: A Geochemical Perspective. (Under the direction of Neal E. Blair and Elana L. Leithold). The significant contribution of small mountainous river systems, including the Waiapu River on New Zealand’s East Cape, to the global fluvial sediment supply motivates investigation into the processes that influence the character and composition of the organic carbon that they carry. Organic matter preserved in continental margin sediments originates from terrestrial sources such as kerogen, fresh and aged soil carbon, as well as marine sources. Due to the reactivity of marine carbon in the seabed, terrestrial sources of carbon are preferentially preserved unaltered. Therefore, identification of specific terrestrial sources of sediment from the watershed preserved on the continental margin can facilitate interpretation of the organic geochemical record and enable reconstruction of the watershed history. Carbon and nitrogen isotopic analyses and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons have been used to apportion terrestrial carbon sources preserved on the shelf, specifically to resolve aged soil contributions. Spatial geochemical patterns on the margin appear to be complicated by structural deformation of the shelf and its influence on marine sediment dynamics. Resolution of riverine sources suggests that gullying, bank failure, and sheetwash are the chronic geomorphic processes delivering most of the organic carbon to the Waiapu sedimentary system. The middle and outer Waiapu continental shelf buries an average of 59 Gg C/y. Relative to the 200 Gg C/y delivered by the Waiapu River to the ocean, approximately 23% of the riverine carbon is retained on the mid- to outer shelf, matching the sediment inventory.

At a deeper level, it inherently recognises the interconnectedness of our land, our biodiversity and our people. The Department of Conservation is committed to supporting its Treaty Partners in their ongoing journey to connect iwi, hapu and whanau to species, places and traditions that are important to them. The relationship protocols outlined in the Conservation redress component of each Treaty Settlement binds us in this endeavour. There are now 64 Treaty Settlements in effect across New Zealand, 11 deeds of settlements in the last stage of being legislated, 8 iwi are negotiating their deeds and 12 other iwi are in the process of negotiating their agreement in principle. The ongoing partnerships we are building with iwi across the country, post-settlement, has greatly improved conservation outcomes for all New Zealanders.
